dapcigar Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Am trying to get a current price, add it to what is in the database and update the table with the new value. Every time i do it, it won't do the addition but update the table with the current price. Please, what am i doing wrong? $sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pbudget WHERE project_name = '$project' "); $budget = mysql_fetch_array($sql2); $actual = $budget['actual'] ; $actual = $budget['spent'] ; $tot = ($spent + $amount); $final = ($actual - $amount); //$final = ($actual + $amount); $r = mysql_query("UPDATE pbudget SET actual = '$final', spent ='$tot' WHERE project_name = '$project'") or die(mysql_error()); $que = mysql_query("UPDATE budget SET actual = '$final', spent ='$tot' WHERE category = '$cat'") or die(mysql_error()); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289573-problem-with-addition-and-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You have a glaring error in your code. Where do you set the value of $spent? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/289573-problem-with-addition-and-update/#findComment-1484273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
